St. Norbert College

Mission & Student Affairs is committed to creating a campus community that thrives on a rich incorporation of the Catholic, Norbertine and Liberal Arts traditions of St. Norbert College.

Community Engagement

Our Norbertine heritage calls us to live out the ideals of communio while serving the broader community both locally and globally. The departments working in the area of Community Engagement seek to fulfill this calling while cultivating among students the understanding, experience and passion through which they will engage their communities effectively as agents of positive change in the world.
